Celebrating its 11th year anniversary and following AAPG’s flagship International Conference and Exhibition (ICE) event, the LACR Student and YP Chapter Leadership Summit will bring students and young professionals from the region and worldwide to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to learn best practices, share experiences and develop leadership and teamwork skills. This 3-day experience will provide lasting benefits, not only to participants but also to the chapters and countries they represent.
The Latin America and Caribbean Region Student and Young Professional Chapter Leadership Summit is an initiative developed by geoscientists leaders representing the American Association of Petroleum Geologists Latin America and the Caribbean Region (AAPG LACR).
Since 2013, the AAPG Leadership Summit has brought students from throughout the Latin America and the Caribbean Region together for three intensive professional and personal development sessions and training in leadership, communications, ethics, and service.
Starting in 2022, the Summit expanded to include participation from Young Professionals representing AAPG’s International Regions (Africa, Asia-Pacific, Canada, Europe, Middle East) and United States Sections. This multicultural participation helps participants strengthen their global network, develop leadership skills, and prepare themselves for the challenges that they will face as professionals in the energy sector.
Celebrating its 11th anniversary in 2025, the Leadership Summit takes place 3-5 October, immediately following AAPG's International Conference and Exhibition (ICE Rio 2025), taking place in the Windsor Barra Convention and Expo Center 30 September - October 3.
